Book and University Courses Will Enable Broad Adoption of Aggressive Power Management Techniques in China
BEIJING, May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Peking University Press today announced
that it will publish the Chinese-language edition of the "Low Power
Methodology Manual" (LPMM), the ARM- and Synopsys-authored practical guide to
aggressive power management in System-on-Chip design. In addition, Peking
University (PKU) will develop a low power design curriculum based on the LPMM
and introduce it to universities throughout China. As the rapidly growing
Chinese IC design industry increasingly focuses on delivering consumer
products that require long battery life, the localization of the widely
adopted LPMM text combined with the PKU academic curriculum will enable
China's designers to quickly adopt leading-edge aggressive power management
techniques.
The LPMM, jointly authored by Synopsys and ARM, is a practical guide to
adopting aggressive power management techniques. The methodology has been
proven in silicon using ARM(R) Physical IP, ARM processors, and Synopsys'
Eclypse(TM) Low Power Solution. The English language version of the LPMM,
which was first published in August of 2007, has quickly become a widely
adopted methodology for low power design, with more than 8,000 readers. The
LPMM authors include Synopsys Fellow Mike Keating, ARM Fellows David Flynn and
Robert Aitken, Alan Gibbons (Synopsys principal engineer), and Kaijian Shi
(Synopsys principal consultant).
"Peking University has been actively promoting the teaching and scientific
research of advanced IC design technologies. We are honored to have joined
hands with Synopsys and ARM, technology leaders in the industry, to bring
cutting-edge power management techniques to China through the 'Low Power
Methodology Manual,'" said Cheng Xu, Director of Micro Processor Research and
Development Center of Peking University. "We will also develop educational
courses around the book to help introduce these techniques throughout China."
Combining extensive commercial experience, deep scientific understanding,
silicon technology case studies, and a pragmatic approach, the LPMM covers a
broad range of low power topics, including: clock gating, multiple threshold
voltage (multi-Vt) methods, multi-voltage design and architecture, power
gating and dynamic voltage scaling, RTL and architectural considerations for
SoCs as well as IP, plus considerations for physical IP.
"As the development of consumer and mobile computing electronic
technologies increases in China, power management has become essential for
designers. ARM and Synopsys have cooperated in the LPMM book to offer a
valuable solution to speed adoption of the latest tool and intellectual
property innovations in low power design techniques," said Chen Lan, vice
director of Chinese Academy of Science - EDA Center. "The LPMM book introduces
a systematic suite of low power design technologies ranging from system level
low power solutions, software and hardware co-design, logic design
technologies, and circuit design technologies. Providing many real design
examples, this book is a useful reference book for graduate university
students, researchers, and design engineers alike."
"Our extensive ARM-Synopsys R&D collaborations over more than 10 years
have succeeded in addressing many key industry design challenges ahead of the
market need," said Jun Tan, president, ARM China. Jian-Yue Pan, vice president
of Asia Pacific Region at Synopsys, added: "By extending the ARM-Synopsys
collaboration to the prominent Peking University, we will be able to meet the
needs of designers for a Chinese-language advanced low power methodology
supported by proven IP and tools."
The Chinese language LPMM will be introduced at the SpringTech Seminar
series (May 12 in Beijing, May 14 in Shanghai, and May 16 in Shenzhen); for
more information and to register visit http://www.lpmm-book.com/cn/. In
addition, all of the LPMM authors will assemble to deliver a full-day
technical tutorial on low power techniques at the Design Automation Conference
in Anaheim, Calif. on June 13, 2008. For more information and to register,

Availability:
The Chinese-language edition of the LPMM is expected to be available for
purchase from Peking University Press in July, 2008. For more information on
the book, visit: http://www.lpmm-book.com/cn/. The hardbound English language
edition of the LPMM is available today through http://www.springer.com or
http://www.amazon.com. In addition, Synopsys and ARM customers can download a
free electronic copy of the English language edition of the LPMM at
http://www.synopsys.com/lpmm or www.arm.com/lpmm.
About Peking University Press
Peking University Press was set up in 1902 as a department of Peking
University responsible for book translation and publishing. Since then, it has
published a series of teaching materials and academic works, including the
famous "China International Law Theories" by Li Dazhao and Zhang Runzhi, and
"Poetry" by Huang Jie. It was shut down in 1952 and re-opened in 1979. Since
then, it has been developed into a comprehensive publishing house, covering a
rich variety of areas.
About The Microprocessor Development & Research Center
The Microprocessor Development & Research Center (MPRC) was founded in
February 2001 and serves as China's primary research center for computer
science, technology and microelectronics. In addition to developing
microelectronic systems and software, MPRC conducts research across a broad
spectrum of areas including modern microprocessor architecture, compiler
optimization, operating system, computer simulation and performance
evaluation, software/hardware co-design, System-on-a-Chip (SoC) design, and
embedded system design. MPRC has established a joint laboratory with Synopsys
for system-on-chip (SoC) verification, chip prototyping, hardware-software
debugging and IP integration.
